Please look at a low mile original (like the yellow iroc on ebay) or get a measurement of where exactly the emblem attaches to the bumper. I see way too many people place it all the way to the left edge of the bumper and thats incorrect. Its a few inches in from the edge. I think its centered under the tail light.

If I recall correctly, the left edge of the emblem should line up directly below the left vertical line of the taillight.

I am thinking about about not doing the striping around the car and just doing the door decals.

Re: Emblem question for 1985 IROC

IMO, the stripes are a signature thing that sets them apart and adds to the look. It'd be like a 1st Gen Z28 without the racing stripes, kinda plain. It seems that alot of the newer musclecars even have some sort of stripes these days. For a lower mile, practically original car, I'd put them on.
